To paraphrase Andromeda:

Captain Hunt: America, override privacy mode.
Beka: Hold on. You can just override privacy mode just like that?
Captain Hunt: Yeah. America's at war. We can't afford secrets.

Yup. In Outlook, in order to export data, you first go to "Open" then "Import".

Gotta love window navigation!

When I first read the title I thought it was going to be along the lines of how to not overuse emojis. I guess that's just my wishful thinking.

I don't use the SysRq key too often, but when I'm working with a kernel that's having issues those magic system request combos become really useful.

I've also become aware that the Pause/Break key is used in the windows command prompt. (I recently had the unfortunate experience of creating a python/django application on windows...)

...but is this something that should be sued over? It's not like the bloatware is harming anyone; it's just freaking annoying.

I feel a company should have the right to choose whether or not to put bloatware on its devices, just like I have a right to avoid purchasing from that company because they're being retarded.

It seems to me that this would either kill or severely wound Google. I'd assume that all of Google's services work hand in hand (search, apps, etc) to generate revenue or information needed for Google to generate more services / better the existing services.

Disclaimer: I say the above not really knowing about Google's revenue stream or any specifics really, so it's possible there's something going on that I completely missed, or don't understand.

I won't be happy until I get my LCARS display. Just imagine controlling a car like that.

Heck, "car" is already included in the acronym!

I misread "Pike" as "Pirk" and got all excited. Then I saw that I misread it, and I was sad.

Now, I'm not commenting on whether he's right or wrong, but this in an accepted summary? Seems a bit much even by Slashdot standards.

TFA explains the difference between quality control and censorship, but isn't it kindof the same thing? I understand that yes, there are differences, but why ban an app with a bad UI? Who decides whether it's good or bad?

It seems that if they're against censorship, they'd be against apple banning a third-party app (with no affiliation to apple other than being sold on an Apple market) just because it's not "quality".

Personally, I think apple should let the consumers decide what's good or bad, but it's their company, and it's their prerogative to make that decision.

Simple! Don't let them eat anything!

The concept of having people go to their local Best Buy to "try" out a product, then going home and ordering it online, only to receive it from a local warehouse is kindof humorous.

I still have the ability to choose to drive a car. Yes, if I want to drive a car, I need to do certain things, like pay for insurance.

If I don't drive a car, I shouldn't have to pay a tax for not doing so, to help with the people who get into accidents that can't pay for it. Same principle.
